Follow the policy when Southampton take on Blackburn Rovers in the league today.
An increasingly competitive second tier in English football remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a place in the Premier League on offer at the end of the season.
Last year, Southampton, Leicester City and Leeds United all descended from the more sensible flight and all hope to return quickly; however, the likes of Norwich City, West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland also have real promotion ambitions.
At the other end of the table, QPR, Cardiff City and Birmingham City will hope for better campaigns than last year’s relegation struggle – while newcomers Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to survive after dramatic progress through the play-offs.
